The 2010 International Aperture Awards
This is the first time I have entered these Awards. I submitted three photos and was thrilled to learn that all three won an Award.
I entered on the OPEN Category which is the most challenging category as you are competing with the professional photographers, not just the Amateurs!!! The International Aperture Awards is a very tough competition as you are up against top professional and amateur photographers worldwide. In a few days the top 50 images of each category will be posted on the website so I can’t wait to see these.
